Good post, but your comment on the largest courtroom really is predicated on whether these people sitting in their living rooms are getting honest facts/information.
Refer to Washington Mutual. Thank bank had $20B in cash...and never, NEVER truly failed. But, we were all TOLD that it did while we were watching intently to our media sources.
It is the illusion they push that we will use to make our judgement, and when big money and politics are involved, should any of us have faith that this illusion mirrors reality? No. Media journalism is "media-smithed" to omit facts and blur truths till the story appears how they (the corrupt) wish it to.
